Herring and Egg Salad

Name: Herring and Egg Salad
Ingredients: 200 g herring fillet (I used ready-made salted herring fillet pieces); 100 g onion; 2 eggs; 1 bunch leaf lettuce; 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 1 tsp vinegar; 1 tsp mustard (I used whole grain mustard, but any kind works)

A simple, light herring and egg salad that makes a great addition to lunch or dinner. It comes together especially fast if you use ready-made herring from a jar.

Ingredients:

200 g herring fillet (I used ready-made salted herring fillet pieces)
100 g onion
2 eggs
1 bunch leaf lettuce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp mustard (I used whole grain mustard, but any kind works)

How to cook herring and egg salad

Hard-boil the eggs (cook for 10 minutes after the water comes to a boil). Cool them down by covering with cold water.

Rinse the leaf lettuce, shake off the water, and chop it into fairly large pieces.

Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings.

Cut the eggs into large chunks (I cut each egg in half, then each half into 4 pieces).

If the herring fillet pieces are large, cut them into smaller pieces. If you're using a whole herring, gut it first, rinse it, fillet it, and remove the bones.

Make the dressing. Mix together the vegetable oil, vinegar, and mustard (no need to add salt, since herring is already quite salty).

Arrange the leaf lettuce on individual serving plates.

Top with the herring pieces, eggs, and onion, then drizzle with the dressing. This herring salad pairs wonderfully with potatoes in any form — mashed, boiled, or roasted. Herring and egg salad is a fantastic light, healthy, and delicious option!
